Feeling guilty

Feeling Guilty

"How do you plead" The judge asked.

I swallowed. I had not realised how difficult this would be. "Guilty", i answered.
I would have liked to explain , to say that i am usually a law-abiding citizen, to show circumstances were different this time. But i knew the judge had probably heard every excuse there was. Mine would be no different so i quietly accepted the sentence and paid my fine.
When we break one of God's laws- we feel guilty too
God has told us in the bible , "there is none righteous, no not one" Romans 3:10. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Romans 3:23
Guilty feelings are a blessing from God, imagine if , when we sinned, we felt no guilt, we would continue in wrong doing and dead works not realising we have sinned.

To successfully deal with guilt"repent, and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins" Acts 2:38
"Believe on the Lord Jesus christ, and thou shalt be saved" Acts 16:31.

Steps
     Repent- Turn around in sorrow
    Believe- Acknowledge that he is God's provision for our sins
    Confess- Acknowledge what is true and tell God truthfully in what ways we have violated his command.
     No more sin.
